Rula,

Maybe you could focus on knee frequency (0.5/Tr, Fknee) instead of BW/f3dB.
It means that the behavior of a circuit at frequencies above Fknee hardly 
affects digital performance.

In detail, refer to the section 1.1 of High-Speed Digital Design - A Handbook 
of Black Magic (Dr. Howard Johnson's Book@93).

I also have a question for this equation, 0.5/Tr.
It seems to be extracted from the 10% to 90% of Tr.
Who can tell me the knee frequency for 20% to 80% of Tr?

Regards,

Cortex

Cortex,

    The value of 0.35 in your calculation is base on the pole location of
the 1st order system.  How are you deriving the 0.22 value?.  I am very
curious to understand the thinking behind this.
